Tens of millions of Americans are expected to travel over Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial kick-off to summer. They'll encounter high gasoline prices but, for the most part, not experience difficulty finding fuel.

The average price per gallon on May 26 remained several cents above $3, ranging from as low as $2.71 in the South and upper Midwest to as much as $4.17 in some western states, according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA). While the average is 17 cents higher than last month and up $1.12 from a year ago, the organization sees the price stabilizing.
